We use our own machine learning tools, modern LLMs, and traditional software and data models to build product experiences that users can trust and rely on while inventing the products of tomorrow. You’ll work directly with the founder, food science domain experts, ex-math professors, and our customers to define and build our platform.\nWhat you'll do:\nEngage deeply with real-world problems and own the complete lifecycle of creating novel, differentiating solutions.\nTalk directly to customers. We want our best problem solvers as close to the users as possible.\nSupport and continue to build out our backend traditional compute architecture (React, TypeScript, Bun, Elysia) as well as our agentic infrastructure (LangChain-based).\nHelp us expand the horizons of what's possible by combining machine learning, agentic AI, and traditional software approaches to solve problems no one approach can handle.\nWithin 15 days: own implementation of a small feature. Within 30 days: own end-to-end a major improvement to our agentic toolkit that makes product innovation better. Within 45 days: invent and deliver something you created based on your conversations with our users, internal experts, and customers.\nWork directly with the founder on problems that shape the whole product.\nA good fit likely has:\nAn aptitude for problem-solving and learning. We don’t care exactly what you’ve done before; we care that you can go all-in and accomplish anything you set your mind to.\n3+ years of software experience building real products/tools that people actually use. We’re trusting you to build a good nucleus!\nProven high-ownership mindset: ability to work independently and be self-motivated, e.g. former founders or those that took extreme ownership in startups.\nAn attitude of getting the most out of AI coding tools - not just as a speed multiplier for coding, but as a backbone for rethinking processes, revolutionizing work roles, and achieving the impossible.\nExcellent communication and candor. You’ll be directly communicating with customers, users, engineers, domain experts, etc.\nIt’s a bonus if you have:\nExperience or education in scientific computing, machine learning, data visualization and analytics, domain-specific tools, or similar.\nExperience interfacing with end users/customers.\nDevOps knowledge.\nUX and/or product experience. You’ll be building things non-technical users touch, use, and rely on every day.\nYou’re a previous founder or founding engineer. You have built something from scratch that people use or pay for.\n\nYou’re unusually obsessed with hard problems. Your current skills or even what you've done before are less important than your ability to go all-in and accomplish anything that you set your mind to.\n\nAbout us:\nWe are backed by $19.75M in funding from Y Combinator, Insight Partners, and elite angels like Eric Ries.\nOur core platform can’t be killed by the next release of ChatGPT.\nWe are a small, elite team that is breaking new ground in how engineering work can be done and how problems can be solved.\nWe operate with a high agency, high-speed culture: we trust you, we want you to build great things fast.\nWhy this matters\nNearly everything you eat, drink, wash with, or put on your skin was formulated by a scientist balancing taste, cost, safety, and shelf life all at once. That work is some of the most consequential on earth, done by some of the most capable people you'll meet, but the tools haven't kept up with them. We work alongside food scientists and R&D teams to build the system they've never had, so their expertise goes further and faster on the products 8 billion people use every day. Food and beverage is where we start, but the mission is bigger: making what people put in and on their bodies better, for the people doing the work and the millions who live with the result.\nWhy this is hard (and interesting):\nYou are building a product experience that translates ambiguous, highly complex, subjective expertise and physical chemistry needs into a solution for users who never had better tools than spreadsheets.\nThis requires going far beyond traditional statistical methods and basic LLM calls. You will own the end-to-end development of AI-powered features across the backend, frontend, and deployment layers. You will build on our proprietary ML algorithms, LLMs, internal embeddings, and structured data models to create product experiences that users actually trust.\nThis is a zero-to-one build. You will ideate, plan, and deliver software that consistently exceeds customer expectations. You will collaborate tightly with our ML team to ensure outputs are not just mathematically accurate, but practically trustworthy in a lab.\nBenefits:\nLearning and knowledge stipend\nOne of the top 5% of 401(k) plans among US companies\nMedical, dental, and vision insurance\nEquity: 0.10% to 0.40%\nThis position is in person in Palo Alto, CA.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5105,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Manufacturing & Industrial Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-28T04:48:52Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":33,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.601,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":49,"expected_fill_days":38,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/turing-labs-inc-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/turing-labs-inc-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T01:24:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1998,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":5513},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5513"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fturing-labs-inc-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fturing-labs-inc-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fturing-labs-inc-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/turing-labs-inc-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fturing-labs-inc-senior-software-engineer-full-stack-2"}]}
